Some works have previously been removed from Glover's sketchbooks, often by previous owners, and placed elsewhere in other sketchbooks or other collections. Of these, some have since been returned to their original sketchbook, at an unknown date. It is not always possible to ascertain their original placement.

Many loose sketches from some of these sketchbooks are located in albums constructed by the State Library (DGA 29, DGA 30 and DGA 31).
